SB SOX Plantar Fasciitis Relief Socks – Ankle Brace Compression Sleeve – Arch Support for Foot Pain, Swelling, Heel Spurs – Foot Brace for Achilles Tendonitis Relief, Injury Recovery (Black, Medium)

First of all I was not expecting much. I read the reviews and it seemed like these socks would either work or not do anything. I ordered them thinking it was worth a shot. I had previously tried over the counter inserts, Dr. prescribed and formed inserts, expensive supportive shoes, ice, exercises, etc. Nothing seemed to help my foot pain. I finally tried one of the over the counter braces that hold your foot in position at night but it was hard to sleep with it on and if I got the straps too tight, I would wake up in pain where the strap was putting too much pressure on my foot. I did however notice improvement and much less pain when I wore the brace and if I didn't wear it, the pain in my heel returned in the morning. So with this in mind I thought the socks were worth a try.The socks arrived and I immediately put them on. First impression was that they were not tight enough to do much good (I ordered a size large and wear a size 10 shoe) but I figured I would give it a bit and see what happened. Well much to my amazement, in about 20 minutes I realized my feet felt better! These socks were really a surprise. I wore them for 5 or 6 hours after they arrived, then I went to bed with them on and woke up with no foot pain in the morning. I have been wearing them ever since. Even though they don't feel overly tight, they do feel snug and I guess they compress my foot at the instep enough to keep the tendon stretched and not make my foot or heel hurt. They don't seem to stop circulation in my foot and they do stay on and don't slip around on my foot.Now don't get me wrong, I still have some pain if I stay on my feet all day. But these socks do ease the pain. Before I started using a brace at night, I could barely walk in the morning my heel and instep hurt so much. But with the brace being used the last 3 weeks and now just wearing the socks, the pain is pretty much gone or not really noticeable when I first get up. I haven't worn the brace for three nights now (I do wear the socks) and my feet feel good in the morning. I did try leaving the socks off for a few hours yesterday and maybe it is psychological but my feet did feel a bit sore after a few hours of not wearing them.The socks seem well made and after three days of use are not showing any signs of loose stitching or poor quality. I have not washed them yet and I guess I will see how things are doing in a month. But for now I am very pleasantly surprised at how well they work and how much better my foot feels with them on. I plan to buy a few more pairs and hopefully they will continue to make a difference.

Really love this product it has helped me with the pain the fit is great the quality is reat I have from plantar fasciitis it has really help make it through the day.

I started wearing these socks after my heels began hurting from walking all day. A friend recommended them, and I’m glad I gave them a try! I don’t wear them every day—usually just on the days when my feet are feeling sore.I’ve also slept with them on a few times. While I sometimes wake up to take them off, they don’t actually wake me up or make me uncomfortable. I usually hate sleeping in socks, but these are lightweight and breathable, which is great since I’m a hot sleeper.I really do believe these socks help with my plantar fasciitis pain. I wear a size 9 shoe and got the Medium size. They’re snug, but that’s how they’re designed—to provide the right amount of support.Overall, a great option if you need some extra relief without sacrificing comfort!

I ordered a pair of these years ago and I still wear them. just ordered a another two pairs. Recently broke my ankle and after the boot this compression sock helps with the pain and swelling I still have.

Helps with plantar fasciitis pain because is causes great compression. It does hurt my Achilles tendon after 8-10 hours of wear so it’s not great for all day use. It is very durable, I washed it a few times and it hasn’t affected the compression or fabric at all. The design is okay, but the opening ends do squeeze a little more uncomfortably than you probably want. It especially causes some pain at my calf when I wear these too long due to compression—and yes I’m wearing them the correct way. I wish you got more pairs for the price, instead of just one pair. I ordered a different brand that is a 6-pack and a great value that also doesn’t cause the issues this one does, so you may want to look for the 6-pack instead. Overall though, it does seem to help my plantar fasciitis pain.
